Good luck, Don, on your check out dive! You've done so well! Lugging around all that "stuff" is the part I didn't like either...but, I had a wonderful dive buddy who carried all my stuff for me. (Ah, chivalry was alive & well in 1984!) Take a small thermos with you--a few cups of hot tea or chicken soup could really help you recover quickly when you come out of that chilly water.
Kathy, I love that you are contemplating going to Kauai - worth enduring the timeshare pitch. And, consider looking into the certification classes there. It's usually so much easier to get certified at resorts! My classes were in Marina del Rey (Calif.) & open water dives at Catalina; I had month long classes and the water was so cold it required a full wetsuit top to bottom & lots of weights. That's the "stuff" we've been referring to. You can avoid all that if you certify in a warm tropical resort. My Don did it in the Bahamas and had it so easy!!.....now I'm anxious for some Gelato! Power of suggestion! Soon....soon! (6 more days 'till Italy for us.)
Cyndi, that's so great that you are seeing the pounds coming off. You are definitely on your way again no matter if it's the same 5 pounds over again. We're going to stay on top of this for you! Hope your ankle is much better now. Such a bummer when something like that happens.
